Meeting Women & Making Dates Online

internet dating is easy

Jared, you're afraid of the wrong things. The fact is that it's a lot easier to deal with a woman when you can't see her. You're most definitely not at a disadvantage, because on the Internet you can check out up to 200 pictures within a half-hour. Then you pare it down to 45 or so, and out of that 45 you give the best ones a wink. You're going to dance back and forth with a few e-mails, then you will go in for the home phone number.

And she's going to say (hopefully), "Here it is," or "I'll give it to you when we meet." Then you have to get her to show up for her coffee. Make sure you give her the Starbucks telephone number and detailed directions, and that the place has plenty of parking because a lot of these girls won't show if they have the slightest excuse.

As far as her onscreen name goes, if she wants to call herself "Anita The Hun," that's her right. You'll get her real name if she's really interested.

get that coffee date

So to sum it up, break the ice, exchange e-mails, then ask for the home phone number and a 45-minute date at Starbucks. Of course you can't completely gauge a woman's Interest Level over a computer, but to you Psych majors, the more detailed her responses are to your e-mails, the easier she makes it for you to contact her in person. And the more questions she asks you, you can bet her Interest Level is clinically alive.

Remember: Some women will meet a guy for coffee. When she walks in the door, you'll witness her female presence in the flesh. Then you'll sit down with her for a chat, and it'll be easy to assess whether she likes you or thinks you're the worst thing since Osama Bin Laden.

When it comes to being completely prepared before going onto the battlefield, like my cousin Brother Love down in Watts says, "Amen, Bro!".
